Australia’s Jewish community saw an attack coming but no one expected the Bondi Beach horror
Australia’s deadliest mass shooting in almost 30 years targeted Jewish families on Sydney’s Bondi Beach, one of the country’s most iconic locations, on one of the most festive days of the Jewish calendar.
Three decades ago, almost 650,000 firearms − about one-third of all privately owned guns in Australia – were surrendered, loaded intro trucks and destroyed. In exchange for these firearms, part of a mandatory gun buyback program, the government paid out $200 million. Gun-related murder and suicide rates plummeted.
The deadly shooting during a Hanukkah celebration at Australia's Bondi Beach follows a sharp rise in antisemitic attacks in the country since the Hamas-led assault on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, and the ensuing war in Gaza.
